I received my batch 2 avalon on 6/27.   Order #109XX.    It's black, and hashes at 73GH/s.   

A buddy of mine ordered his the same time on February 2nd and still has not received an order confirmation or acknowledgement of any kind, despite having opened two support tickets months apart.   He's getting a little concerned.

Hello all... 

I'm a longtime forum lurker, and I never post.    I'm coming out of the shadows to request my release from newbie jail, so that I can bid on auctions.   
I started acquiring bitcoins in early 2011, and have watched with amazement as the community and economy has grown and matured.  I mine with ASICs, invest on btct.co, and follow bitcoin news closely.
